New Guard Mental Health Training delivery, is the product of many years working in stressful high intensity environments. Those environments where often highly competitive, hierarchical, and on occasion hostile. During my career I was fortunate enough to lead soldiers, young and not so young, men and women, heterosexual, and from the LBGTQ+ community, from the UK and from many of the Commonwealth States. Some of those people came from loving families while others looked to escape abuse and neglect, some where financially stable others found themselves in financial strife. This richly divers culture and it's wealth of life experience, along with the powerful sense of community fostered through shared hardship, enable me to see the employment landscape from a very different vantagepoint.

A man for whom I hold great respect saw in me, and my leadership approach, compassion, understanding, loyalty and the necessary skills required to communicate with those who are in distress or crisis and so he employed me in a role that changed the path that my career and indeed my future would follow.
